17th Airborne: The Bulge to the Rhine

Hear Jack Fisher and four of his buddies as they describe first combat, the bone-chilling cold of a European winter, the constant fear, and the ferocious enemy.

This is the story of an obscure battalion -- the 681st Glider Field Artillery of the 17th Airborne. It chronicles five green, young soldiers who thought the war might end before they would see action. Instead, they enter combat on Christmas Day 1944 at the Battle of the Bulge and four months later glide over the Rhine to push forward the inevitable Allied advance.
